New amavis Install

[Phil Daws]

Hello, 

Have setup a new amavis-new 2.8.1 installation and seeing this error in the maillog:

Aug  9 10:10:00 mx2 amavis[8854]: (08854-01) (!)_DIE: Socket version 1.95 required--this is only version 1.82 at /usr/local/share/perl5/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 71.
Aug  9 10:10:00 mx2 amavis[8854]: (08854-01) (!)_DIE: Can't locate IO/Socket/IP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at /usr/local/share/perl5/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 85.

What is baffling me is that I performed a near identical installation on another server and that does not exhibit the same issue.  Here are the perl Socket modules from the new server:

[root at mx2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i socket
perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.31-2.el6.noarch
perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.56-4.el6.noarch
perl-Socket6-0.23-3.el6.x86_64

and here from the server that is fine:

[root at mx1 /]# rpm -qa | grep -i socket
perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.56-4.el6.noarch
perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.31-2.el6.noarch
perl-Socket6-0.23-3.el6.x86_64

I checked the code block in SSL.pl and if I extract it and run the following it works fine.

        # fall back to IO::Socket::INET for IPv4 only
        if ( ! $ip6 ) {
                @ISA = qw(IO::Socket::INET);
                constant->import( CAN_IPV6 => '' );
        }

Any thoughts on what could be the issue please ?

Thanks.
